Bumping into the tank?
Would bumping into my tank by accident cause any issues if there are molters under?

I don't think so. How hard was the bump?piratetoothgir wrote:Would bumping into my tank by accident cause any issues if there are molters under?

I wasn’t the one who bumped into it, but my youngest brother likes to put his foot on the stand, which shakes the tank.

It may depend on how big the tank is and how much substrate but better that he stop doing that. I'm sure you've told him already.

Yes, he doesn’t do it now.
Here’s my stand and and tank.

He typically puts his feet at the bottom, and then pushes off a little, which wiggles the entire tank around. He does it on his tank, which is most likely why he does it on mine.
You can see that I have those shelves on the bottom that hold my isopod totes.
